Is this knife legal to carry?
Automatic knives have varying legal restrictions by state and locality. Check your local and state laws before carrying any automatic knife, as regulations differ significantly across jurisdictions.
What warranty does Benchmade provide?
Benchmade offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Their LifeSharp service provides free blade sharpening for the life of the knife when sent to their Oregon facility.
How do I maintain the Auto AXIS mechanism?
Keep the pivot area clean and occasionally apply a small amount of light machine oil to the AXIS mechanism. Avoid over-lubrication, which can attract debris and affect the automatic function.
